Now is the winter of Britain’s discontent

I thought Boris Johnson looked uncomfortable on the Andrew Marr show this morning. So he should. He repeated the claim that our economy is growing faster than in any G7 country. The fact of course is that we took a bigger hit than the others but that is just a boring detail so let's just skip it.

I've also learnt from him today that the UK is world-leading in logistics. Really? I tend to dismiss anything the PM says that includes 'world-leading'. Do we as a nation suffer from delusion of grandeur?

I know- I watched it. And he was smirking, barely able to stop laughing. He is just sick.

''to suit us where needed.''

for that to happen, is for those people to be prepared to work and live in unsecure conditions, bad conditions, no respect, and tons of hassle- very few will put up with that despite a high temporary salary- just to suit Brexiters who sent them packing.

The picture you paint is exactly what employees in Eastern Europe experience every day.
Do you know what a Bulgarian HGV driver earns. It’s a pittance.
A lot of them do the job in their own country because they can earn money through corruption.

Where does that point about Bulgarian HGV drivers come from MerylStreep because I heard an interview on the radio the other day with Eastern European HGV drivers saying how well paid they were in Europe and how disgusting facilities were in the UK and they were happy enough to stay away.

MerylStreep- what is your point here?

At least at home, they are ... at home! But most will choose to work in other parts of Europe, not too far from home, but with better conditions and salaries.

Why would they come to the UM now?

UK (oh why has this site not got an 'edit' option).

You had me worried their Kali. I thought the "take our country back" lot had turned into the United Motherland!

Us Grannies do seem to be very divided Pippa ;)

Inflation is a massive concern for all and will probably eat up any salary increases and more. When Laura Kuensberg turns on Johnson, you know he is in trouble
